Weather & Cliamte
Across
- 3. Surge – Rise of ocean water caused by hurricane winds.
- 7. Polar Air Mass – Cool, moist air mass from polar oceans.
- 9. – Cloud that forms near the ground, reducing visibility.
- 12. – Process where water vapor changes into liquid droplets.
- 13. Tropical Air Mass – Hot, dry air mass from continental regions.
- 15. – Any form of water falling from clouds (rain, snow, sleet, hail).
- 16. – Tropical cyclone occurring in the western Pacific Ocean.
- 18. – Sound produced by lightning’s rapid expansion of air.
- 19. Polar Air Mass – Cold, dry air mass from continental regions.
- 21. – Large tropical cyclone with strong winds and heavy rain.
- 23. front – Boundary where a cold front overtakes a warm front.
Down
- 1. Pressure – Atmospheric pressure measured with a barometer.
- 2. front – Boundary where air masses meet but neither advances.
- 3. Scale – Scale used to classify hurricanes by wind speed and damage potential.
- 4. Scale – Scale used to classify tornadoes by damage intensity.
- 5. effect – Phenomenon that causes moving air and water to curve due to Earth’s rotation.
- 6. Tropical Air Mass – Warm, humid air mass originating over tropical oceans.
- 8. – Violent rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm.
- 10. Arctic Air Mass – Extremely cold, dry air mass from the Arctic interior.
- 11. – Boundaries where different air masses meet.
- 14. front – Boundary where warm air replaces cold air.
- 17. – Horizontal movement of air across Earth’s surface.
- 20. masses – Large bodies of air with uniform temperature and humidity.
- 22. front – Boundary where cold air replaces warm air.
